in software components / updates distribution
on MS Windows
platform, from Windows Vista onward, marked by .wim extension.<span

SWM </span>extension is conventionally used for spanned Windows
Imaging
Format files. WIM format uses fast LZX compression, a LZ77 family
algorithm.<br>
            <br>
As analogy of scope, not file format features or specifications, WIM
for modern Windows platforms has a similar role to TAR on Unix/Linux
platforms.<br>

support working with Windows Imaging Format format both for writing
